No matter how old you are, sometimes you just want to find the nearest swing set. If you're walking around the neighborhood, stop by the Jet Drive Park and let your inner child loose while you actual kids can take advantage of the playground.

Park it here: The Jet Drive Park is quaint, but it has enough for kids of all ages to enjoy. Large trees provide cool shade and a nice spot for a picnic.

Be a good sport: Two tennis courts as well as a basketball court allow athletes to practice drills after school and during the summer.

Wanna play: The park features two playground sets appropriate for toddlers as well as metal climbing structures for the older kids. And two swing sets for kids of all ages.

Tip: The tennis and basketball courts offer a free place to play, but they're BYOB — bring your own ball.

Bathrooms: No

Water fountain: A spigot

Picnic tables: 3

Benches: 4

Plentiful parking: Only a few spots. The park is meant more to be a pit stop along a neighborhood walk.
